Campus Geothermal Energy and Building Projects Update
This update highlights ongoing construction efforts for various projects on campus, including the Geothermal Energy Project, NW Mall Landscape Improvements, Bertelsmeyer Hall construction, and McNutt Hall Mechanical Renovation. The Geothermal Energy Project aims to replace outdated boilers with ground source heat pump chillers, resulting in significant energy savings. The NW Mall restoration work is progressing, along with the construction of Bertelsmeyer Hall to provide a modern facility for Chemical and Biological Engineering. McNutt Hall's mechanical renovation is enhancing ventilation and humidity control in laboratory areas. Detailed project timelines and estimated costs are provided for each endeavour.

Current Projects Geothermal Energy Project, Project No.: 111708 Scope: This project proposes utilizing ground source heat pump chillers to provide heating requirements for the campus in lieu of the current boilers in the Power Plant (Installed in 1958, 1963 and 1981). Investment in this project will yield approximately $1 million in annual energy/ operational savings and address $16 million in deferred maintenance needs identified. Debt service will be supported from energy cost savings. At the completion of the project, the Power Plant coal and wood fuel steam boilers would be decommissioned. Update: Plant construction continues at McNutt and Straumanis James Hall. Building slabs are soon to be poured. Stuctural steel is scheduled to be set. CMU walls to begin later this month. Loop construction continues on the north end of campus. Loop piping is also moving south east of Fulton Hall with connections schedule for Fulton and Physics later this month. The loop will continue south on east and west side of campus as the summer moves along.
